As servers structures are always identical, local daemons excepted, we use another way to do so: boot on a FAI server, install a minimal system, including rsync, restore the whole system using BPC, reboot, online & operational. This stays an exceptional procedure, as all servers hardware go through a 2 weeks burn-in before being put in production - most of the breakage coming from HDz &| SSDz. Just in case, partitions tables are extracted and dumped on long-term backup redundant servers and also printed to be inserted in our local paper documentation. > For Windows systems, I'd use Clonezilla images as the base, but that > does take extra time and disk space to maintain. The PITA of a few w$ systems will be definitely eradicated as of 2018-Q3.
